The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed 49 allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps, 50 and a number of other features to improve performance and speed 51 up fsck time. For more information, please see the web pages at 52 http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org. 53 54 The ext4 filesystem supports mounting an ext3 filesystem; while there 55 are some performance gains from the delayed allocation and inode 56 table readahead, the best performance gains require enabling ext4 57 features in the filesystem using tune2fs, or formatting a new 58 filesystem as an ext4 filesystem initially. Without explicit enabling 59 of ext4 features, the on disk filesystem format stays fully backward 60 compatible. 61 62 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here.
